Wee Stuart Anderson stole the hearts and sanity of millions in the 1980s by performing traditional Scottish hits like ‘Donald, Where’s Your Troosers’ to Hogmanay audiences.
The tiny tartan singing sensation was unleashed with his miniature kilt outfit to the general approval of the nation as Scotland revelled one last time in its own shortbread-tin image.
By the time 1989 had rolled around he actually warranted a song about himself.
This performance of Stuart’s Song was televised live to the whole country, as he carried on the tradition of ‘doing a turn’ for your elders at New Year.
The Hogmanay audiences delighted in seeing the wee man's natural charm and enthusiastic jigging amid the log fires and ball gowns of the family orientated celebrations.
The live show featured all the dances and ceremonies from the traditional Scottish ceilidh which was held in the magnificent surroundings of Blair Castle in the highland Perthshire countryside.
Stuart went on to record two successful albums featuring other traditional Scottish folk songs, and continued to perform with his musician father, Stuart Snr.
